North County Food Pantry

North County Food Pantry

Monday: 10:00am - 2:00pm, Wednesday: 8:30am - 12:00pm

Providing food to 300+ families each month

This rural northern area of Spokane County in Eastern Washington is one of the poorest areas, with high unemployment levels and many seniors on fixed incomes. The Pantry serves people closer to their homes out here, because increased gas prices and inflation is making it difficult to travel from this outlying area to apply for assistance in downtown Spokane.

Our clients average 125 - 200 lbs. of groceries per family per month. The North County Food Pantry is a “Home-like" setting where you can come in and have a lively conversation with neighbors. You may have a delicious hot meal as you wait or get a shower, or do laundry (with the condition that it must be done by closing time).

The Senior Box Program

In addition to this the Pantry also distributes monthly basic government commodities. You may qualify for this if you are over 60 and meet the income guidelines, you self declare your income, so no proof is needed. A senior box weighs approximately 60 lbs. with cereals, canned goods, juices, vegetables, fruit, crackers, cheese and instant or shelf-stable milk
